On every Rom I've tried (excluding sense Roms; they don't have handy animations, and I personally hate Sense.) Live Wallpapers lag the launcher. Whether it's the app drawer zoom or scrolling, it has a slight, but very annoying, lag. Is there any possible way to fix this? I love live wallpapers and I love the gingerbread launcher animations, but they don't play nice on my Leo. Anyone get it nice and smooth? This is making me really want a Nexus S lol. Thanks.

I rarely use Live wallpapers as they drain the battery big style but in answer to your question no i don't believe there is a fix yet for the lag you are talking about although i stand corrected on that.
I think it's the Adreno. Lwps worked perfect on my gt540, which had one of the mid end pvr gpus I believe.

Sorry if this has been brought up before but ever since I bought a G1 (I pre-ordered that phone as well) I always wondered if android was ever going to get a rotation transition. You know like the one that wm7 phones have when you switch between landscape and portrait. ios devices have it as well. Can rom developers add stuff like that to their roms? This is just me being curious.

Probably something that Google would have to provide, as it would have to be platform-wide. But really, is this even necessary?
I never liked how choppy it looked when switching orientation. I like smooth transitions into things. Isn't necessary but would make android look a little smoother.

Anyone else have alot of lag when you open/scroll in the app drawer? I got alot of lagg and it doesn't look very nice. Anyone got this and found a solution?
I only have this problem after I updated to 2.1 like 3 weeks ago.
Yes i also have the same problem but that is only when using live wallpapers. Switch to normal one and see if it still lags.

Hey thanks that worked. What a stupid add-on to use Live Wallpapers if you can't use them properly.
Try launcher pro (free in the market) its much more stable and has tons of options! Pretty much everything is customisable...
You might have a lot of applications running on the background. Check the running application page in the settings. When I restart my phone I always go there first and shut down what I don't use, like the face recognition, etc...
Yea just turned off live wallpaper and no more lag on menu screen thanks just wish there was a way 2 live wallpaper on am not have that lag there

Doom LW is the one that gives me less lag in drawer, all the others give me a lot of lag in the drawer, a shame we don't have a good implementation for the gpu or the thing that give us that crap performance.
I get lag using the stock launcher and Launcher Pro, but not with ADW.
That's even with a live wallpaper, and I have ADW set to a transparent drawer so I see the live wallpaper there too.
On my vibrant, which I smashed , the launcher+ and launched pro 3rd app draw was super smooth. With the mt4g it is very choppy. Is that a gpu issue and is there any remedy?

This is one thing I miss from the Vibrant as well. I'm not really sure if it's a GPU thing or a touch screen accuracy/tracking thing. My Nexus (HTC made as you know) is similar to the MT4G with choppier scrolling than the Vibrant... so it might be something similar with all HTC phones. The Vibrant was definitely the smoothest android phone I've seen though... (graphically at least)

I dont have any lag in my app draw. I did with the stock draw though, thats the reason I use launcher pro. That lag can ruin your overall impressions of the phone for sure...maybe its a ROM issue? I am running the unthemed iced ROM.
At any rate hopefully it will get better for you all after a few more optimized ROMs hit.
I was running a live wallpaper. As soon as I turn it off the app draw lag reduced by 95%. Yeah the stock sense draw lags regardless.

So is your scrolling as smooth as the Vibrant's now? I'm not running a live wallpaper but there's still no way my MT4G scrolling in any menu and the launcher pro app launcher is anywhere near as smooth as the Vibrant was...

Now that GOD (Danne_jo) has blessed our wildfire with live wallpapers, I was wondering what wallpapers everyone was using?.
I dont know what it it like in danne's rom, but in CM6.1 i use the nexus lwp and it's a little bit laggy
Starfield 3d doesn't lag at all

I know I'm not the only one with the problem of the laggy app drawer. When you first open it, it's perfectly smooth. Then, if you leave it alone for a second and use it again, it's extremely slow. It happens on any Acer-based rom, including unrooted stock.
Well, here's an interesting fact: This only happens with a static wallpaper. The issue goes away with a live wallpaper.
Why is this happening? Is it a problem with the launcher or the rom?

Wow, that is interesting.
I have noticed that some people experience this issue, and some of them don't. My app drawer does get slow and laggy, but its more just a bit choppy than anything else. It doesn't really bother me so I never worried about it too much.
To be honest, I hadn't noticed that either. However, based on your description, it sounds like the live wallpaper prevents the cpu governor from underclocking (by virtue of the fact that it's more cpu-intensive, thus requiring the cpu to operate at a higher clock), thus preventing initial lag. Just hazarding a guess, though.
finally a thread about this. Here's what I know. I don't think its the CPU scaling because I've tried to fix this. It still happens even when I force it to 1.4 ghz+ the only rom without this problem is virtuous xoom. And it doenst seem to be the launcher. I've tried swapping them around
stock rooted 3.2 and cant make it happan, using reg walpapper. Did not see on previous versions.
I have seen this on other 3.2 tablets... I assume its a gpu thing or just a bug in 3.2

Sounds like the problem is on Acer's end. Email time!

looks like it is hc 3.2 issue - i wasn't experiencing this on hc 3.1 roms
i was trying as well find out the reason...
only thing what i found out - when the lag is there - killing any of running apss will kill the lag for some seconds as well and the app drawer become smooth again.
tested with quick system info pro.
Its the otherway round for me.......the app drawer lags a lot when i use live wallpaper and lags a little less when i use a static wallpaper....i think it depends on the kind of (live or static) wallpaper used on the device.....

It just always lags for me, but as I said earlier, it isn't enough to piss me off or anything. It's only a slight lag.
Everytime I see lag I just tell myself ics will be open source and one of our fine devs will make this awesome

Curious
I dont have a app drawer that lags but out of curiosity would someone with a laggy app drawer plug in a mouse to their unit and scroll the app drawer using that mouse. See if it makes a difference.
app draw lag
Could you explain app draw lag for me please?
